OUR MISSION

Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
– Matthew 25:35

Milford Food Bank is a faith-based organization in Milford, Indiana, dedicated to sharing Christ’s love by providing
food to local pantries serving those facing hunger.
 We rescue bulk food and distribute it at no charge, providing essential support to local and regional food pantries, community kitchens, schools, churches, and recovery homes that care and provide for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Food rescue is an important part of our organization. The US wastes around 40% of its total food production throughout the food industry and consumption.

Milford Food Bank partners with other food banks and all parts of the food industry (grocery stores, big box stores, restaurants, bakeries, etc.) to rescue food that would otherwise be wasted. Excess, damaged, or short-dated food can be rescued and distributed to our partner organizations that serve individuals and families facing food insecurity in their communities.
